Verdict

CAPTIVATE ME (8) has the hoof on the till after finishing runner-up in his last four starts here. Did a good job again at his latest appearance, beaten a neck after being close to the pace throughout. Draws on the back row but is a big chance with even luck. PRETTY MISCHIEVOUS (5) has been in the placings in all three runs so far his prep. Came from the back row last start at Globe Derby, finishing third and 4 metres from the winner. Race fit now and could break through. OZZIE DIAMOND (3) has won a trial since the last-start fifth at Melton and draws well. SWEET LUCY LOU (2) draws to advantage and could be close to a win after two successive placings from back row draws.
